Do schools socialize students to become productive workers? Does schooling reproduce social class and pass on ethnic and gender biases? Can a teacher avoid passing on social and cultural values? What besides subjects do students really learn in schools? This book tackles these questions using case studies, dialogs, and open-ended questions.
